    NCP630A 3 Amp Adjustable Regulator - any way to test?

    Hey, I have a NCP630A 3 Amp Adjustable Regulator that came with my Madvapes vv box mod kit. How can I test it to see if it's working properly? The device is electrically dead to the connector, and I've checked everything else. I tried submitting this question through the Madvapes website, but I...

    PTB for Go-Carts?

    Has anyone tried cleaning and re-filling a go-cart using some PTB to replace the inner wrap? I'm thinking about trying this, as it seems workable... just didn't know if it has been done before. I didn't see any threads discussing it... thanks for any input that can be offered!

    Site having issues?

    Hey all, anyone else having issues connecting to tastyvapor.us? I keep getting the following error: This is happening in Google Chrome and Firefox. I can load pages that are in my cache without issue. Edit: never mind, working fine now. Must have been a glitch in the matrix.

    So disappointing...

    Just finished a new box mod, and the radio shack momentary switch is DOA. :( This sucks, as it's for a friend's mom who is trying to quit smoking. I doubt RS will take back a DOA product with no package or receipt (been waiting on a few different parts for a while). At least it's only a couple...

    Wow, I have been missing out!

    I am coming up on my first year smoke free, January 25. I started with a KR8 model, and quickly started to experiment with 901 atomizers and building mods. For a little present to celebrate a year that has greatly improved my lung function and health, I picked up a Goldrush and decided to try...

    Is this legit?

    Hey all, I don't know if any of you have gotten this e-mail or if anyone is aware of it, but I got two e-mails from V4L today, one saying: A second e-mail came about shortly thereafter, and it says the following: I knew of no reason that my account would be deleted, so I checked here, and...

    Cleaning KR808 cartos: hard draw fixed!

    The other day, I had two KR8 cartos get blocked up -- the super hard draw that usually causes me to trash them. As an experiment, I looked down that center hole that you can usually see light through when you look through it. It looked like it was completely blocked. Out of curiosity, I took a...

    Does this look like a good price for PG?

    Hi all, found this farm supply store online: Propylene Glycol (U.S.P.) - Premier1Supplies 1 gallon PG usp, $19 plus $13.32 s&h (so about $24 all together).

    So where in the store...

    ...would I find PG USP or VG USP, if they have it? I went out and about today and checked two farm supply stores and neither one had heard of it. If a store has PG or VG, with what stuff would I generally find it in a farm store, pharmacy, or craft store? Thanks for helping a newbie to the...

    The worst flashlight to mod ever...

    Hi all! I got the bug to make another mod, and figured I'd try a tube this time. So, I went to the store and found this 3AAA LED flashlight in the camping section at the walmart: Only problem is, as illustrated by the PCB, the case isn't ground. The switch activates it against the outer...

    My first box

    Hey all, got my first box made up, and boy does this work like a champ! I wish I decided to do this a month ago! Thanks to all who helped answer my questions, I know it's basic but it was a tight fit getting the 18650 into a package this small, I had to make my own connector for the positive...

    wiring an 808D1/901 atty connector

    Hi all, been working out the bugs in squeezing a protected 18650 battery into a small project box, and received my connectors. U have two questions about them. 1. What is the best way to seal the connector to prevent juice from being able to enter the box? 2. I saw the connectors in my head...

    Is this about what it should look like?

    Hi all, thinking of designing my first battery mod, something simple. I have put together a simple wiring diagram, and looking at something like this: Is there a preferred way to get the power from the battery to the atomizer connection, or is this about right? Also I was assuming that the...

    Recommend me a MOD

    Hi all, I've been vaping a KR8 for about 4 solid months now, dripping with a 901 atty. I am getting a bit fed up with the inconsistent charging of the batteries (including the pcc), sometimes they work well and sometimes the electrical connection is crap and it stops charging -- this is true...

    "Sealed" cartomizers?

    Hey all, I just bought some extra blank cartomizers a week or so ago, and these things are strange.... I went to pop the cap off the end of a few of them to fill them today, and they are more than glued... the first 1/8" to 1/4" of the tube is part of the white cap, and it looks like it's...

    Vaping at a concert

    So a few days ago, I went to the Shinedown concert in Evansville -- my girlfriend is a huge fan, and the tickets were a valentine's day present. Anyway, we got in super early, and I think I stealth vaped a bit too much! Just kidding, but look at all that PG in the air from the fog machines...

    New Jersey's proposed ban on public use

    KR8 batt with 901 atty?

    Hi guys and gals, I recall hearing that the 901 attys will work with the KR808-D1 battery. Can anyone verify this? I've been thinking about trying out the combination, and I have been searching the site to verify what I think I've read, and have so far come up with nothing. Is there anything...

    Cartomizer end caps?

    Hey all, dumb newb question here... the plastic caps that come on both ends of the cartomizer (Atomz), do I need to keep these? Will juice evaporate if I pitch 'em? I don't like messing with putting them on and taking them off, but I don't want to give free e-juice to evaporation either...

    Waiting for my first PV

    Hi all, Been thinking about starting up the vaping for a while, and I have finally made the initial investment at over at Puresmoker. My Ace can't get here soon enough! I bought a case along with it, as well as a pack of carts and a bottle of e-juice. I'm really hoping I like it enough to...
